Expert Reply:
The B&W Patriot 18k fifth wheel hitch is part # BWRVK3270. The 20k B&W hitch for Ford Super Duty trucks with factory-installed towing prep packages is the Companion, part # BWRVK3370.
The Patriot 18k installs in above-bed rails, which means that you will also need an adapter such as # RP30156, which will essentially convert your factory under-bed rails to standard, above-bed rails.
The Companion 20k will install without this adapter; it is already designed to work with your prep package, so the hitch simply drops into the four receiver pucks for easy installation. You can also remove the hitch and retain full use of your truck bed, unlike with the 18k model, which will require you to leave the adapter in the truck even when the hitch is not in use.
If you are in need of a wiring harness, the recommended fifth wheel harness for 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty trucks with factory 7-ways is # 50-97-410.
I've installed a couple of review and installation videos of these products for you to check out.
